Providing Uninterrupted Energy with Fault Detection and Storage Method in Smart Grids

Abstract

The use of smart grids requires an updated protection system to increase reliability. When a malfunction occurs in the electricity network, transmission or distribution systems, a large area is left without electricity and this situation is solved by eliminating the fault. Identifying and eliminating the root cause of the malfunction is a time-consuming process. One of the most important and critical factors for energy companies is fault localization and network repair time. Fast troubleshooting reduces the effects of manpower and economic losses. In this study, an updated protection system is proposed. This protection system provides very fast protection responses and repair operations during external or internal faults with storage support. The application of smart grid technology brings about a two-way power system and grid transformation that facilitates power transmission and rapid recovery of the fault area. Constant power outages are a major concern for energy companies and consumers. When faults occur, voltage drops in the fault region. Faults in power systems are temporary signals that are the result of various disturbances in transmission and distribution lines. As a result, failures in smart grids will provide uninterrupted energy with the storage method with the support of electric vehicles.
